    Endoscopist estimates of duodenal intubation depth often differ from X-ray findings. Fluoroscopic confirmation is recommended for accurate assessment of distal duodenal segments during endoscopy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Accurate assessment of duodenal intubation depth is crucial for diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy.
    • Endoscopist's visual estimation of duodenal position may not always align with objective measurements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the accuracy of endoscopist's estimation versus X-ray confirmation of duodenal intubation depth.
    • To evaluate the performance of two adult-size endoscopes (Olympus GIF-K2 and ACMI TX-8) in duodenal intubation.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving 55 patients undergoing endoscopy.
    • Assessment of duodenal intubation extent using both endoscopist's estimate and X-ray imaging.
    • Analysis of discrepancies between estimated and actual duodenal positions.

    Main Results:

    • No significant difference in duodenal position was found between the Olympus GIF-K2 and ACMI TX-8 endoscopes.
    • Endoscopist's estimates differed significantly from X-ray locations in 47% of patients.
    • X-ray confirmed the second duodenal portion in 96%, third in 51%, and fourth or beyond in 38% of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic assessment of distal duodenal segments may require fluoroscopic confirmation due to frequent discrepancies in estimated depth.
    • This finding highlights the importance of objective imaging for precise duodenal intubation evaluation.
